"Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the king of Assyria: He shall not
come into this city, or shoot an arrow there, or come before it with a
shield, or cast up a siege mound against it. By the way that he came, by
the same he shall return, and he shall not come into this city, says
the LORD. For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake
and for the sake of my servant David." And the angel of the LORD
went forth, and slew a hundred and eighty-five thousand in the camp of
the Assyrians; and when men arose early in the morning, behold, these
were all dead bodies. Then Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and
went home and dwelt at Nineveh. And as he was worshiping in the house
of Nisroch his god, Adrammelech and Sharezer, his sons, slew him
with the sword, and escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esarhaddon
his son reigned in his stead.
In those days Hezekiah became sick and was at the point of death.
And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him,
"Thus says the LORD: Set your house in order; for you shall die, you
shall not recover." Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, and
prayed to the LORD, and said, "Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how
I have walked before thee in faithfulness and with a whole heart,
and have done what is good in thy sight." And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
Then the word of the LORD came to Isaiah: "Go and say to
Hezekiah, Thus says the LORD, the God of David your father: I have heard
your prayer, I have seen your tears; behold, I will add fifteen years
to your life. I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of
the king of Assyria, and defend this city.

Old Testament Reading
The reading is from Genesis 13:12-18
Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, while Lot dwelt among the
cities of the valley and moved his tent as far as Sodom. Now the men of
Sodom were wicked, great sinners against the LORD.
The LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, "Lift up
your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and
southward and eastward and westward; for all the land which you see I will
give to you and to your descendants for ever. I will make your
descendants as the dust of the earth; so that if one can count the dust of
the earth, your descendants also can be counted. Arise, walk through
the length and the breadth of the land, for I will give it to you."
So Abram moved his tent, and came and dwelt by the oaks of Mamre,
which are at Hebron; and there he built an altar to the LORD.

Old Testament Reading
The reading is from Proverbs 14:27-15:4
The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, that one may avoid the
snares of death. In a multitude of people is the glory of a king, but
without people a prince is ruined. He who is slow to anger has great
understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly. A tranquil mind
gives life to the flesh, but passion makes the bones rot. He who
oppresses a poor man insults his Maker, but he who is kind to the needy
honors him. The wicked is overthrown through his evil-doing, but the
righteous finds refuge through his integrity. Wisdom abides in the mind of
a man of understanding, but it is not known in the heart of fools.
Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people. A servant
who deals wisely has the king's favor, but his wrath falls on one who
acts shamefully. A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word
stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise dispenses knowledge, but the
mouths of fools pour out folly. The eyes of the LORD are in every
place, keeping watch on the evil and the good. A gentle tongue is a
tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit.

George the Righteous of Maleon
Reading from the Synaxarion:
This Saint took up the monastic life from his youth, and went to Mount
Maleon, where a community of monks gathered about him. He foretold his
death from three years before, and reposed in an odour of sanctity.
Apolytikion in the Fourth Tone
With the rivers of your tears, you have made the barren desert
fertile. Through sighs of sorrow from deep within you, your labors have
borne fruit a hundred-fold. By your miracles you have become a light,
shining upon the world. O George, our Holy Father, pray to Christ our
God, to save our souls.
